The climate change impacts on crop yield Bank (ADB) through the project, “Vulnerability to possibly leads to food insecurity globally. Scientists have projected a major climate change in the middle Rainfall Zonation of Thailand of the 21st century (2045-2065). The average monthly maximum temperature in Thailand is expected to increase by 3-4ºC and monthly minimum temperature is expected to increase by more than 4ºC throughout the country (Chinvanno 2010). The regions, ie, the Northeast, Central and the Northern, received less than 1,200 mm annual rainfall (1970-2005) and it is the driest area of the country. Agriculture in Thailand is already impacted by frequent drought or dry spells, flood, unpredictable rainfall and heat waves. Farmers have suffered from crop yield loss, diseases and insect pest damages, leading to household food and income insecurity. Migration for sustenance by finding another job is adapted as an alternative that they have chosen over the years. Farmers’ have been adapting to climate risk continuously without sufficient awareness and support.
